What theme would you love to have as a pin?

[Mitsurugi-w]

How about Resident Evil ..........

That would be cool. My ideas:

Queensryche---would never happen but my favorite all time band.

Metallica or Tool

Killer Instinct or Mortal Kombat

Just what I would personally like. With the exception of Metallica, the themes would never appeal to a large enough audience.

I think Mortal Kombat might appeal to enough people...although I don't know how well porting a fighting game to a pin would work.

Trailer Park Boys pinball

Special modes would be ,

"Bottle kids attack", Bonus for hitting character targets

"J-roc in the house", Bonus for rocking the mic, and banging trailer park ho targets

"Lahey is drunk again", Bonus for hitting all the liquor bottles then shooting the liquor store lock

"Randy needs a cheeseburger", shoot the "Dirty Burger" drive through then hit Phil Collins in the gut

"F*** Community College, Let's Get Drunk and Eat Chicken Fingers" Not sure of the objective on this one

"Ride with Lucy" Hit all the trailers until you hit the random trailer that Lucy is living in then lock the ball in the 76 New Yorker

All this complete with a foil lined Airstream trailer with simulated weed plants growing out of it. Maybe work the Patrick Swayze Express in there too.



My next pin would be Progressive Insurance Pinball. Probably use the Rudy head. the objective would be to get Flo to shut up.

Then maybe a Little Britain Pinball. Don't know where to start, there is a lot of material there.

It didn't work out so well for Street Fighter II but that doesn't have much to do with the theme.

I think MK could be really cool if done right.

Muppets - there would be no finer classic pin ever made.
Guess I'll have to leave that up to Jersey Jack Pinball to make it happen though.

Stern has a an exclusive coin-op contract w/ Disney ....and there have been rumors of Muppets swirling. If it happens, I just *hope* they have a balcony w/ Statler and Waldorf, w/ some coils/mechs for their mouths to flap open....and they do all the instructions/commentary/insults on the game....that would be so cool.

 

[kcfreeloader]

Oh and a MST3K pin

Yes ! The Goonies woud make a great machine complete with a pirate ship play toy!

 

[Lindsey]

From what I understand, Harry Potter is never going to happen. Supposedly Joanne Rowling has some hang up against pinball and will never license it. Of course that's all grapevine talk but you wonder if there isn't some truth to it. Of course the issue could also be that the license is so expensive that Gary Stern won't touch it.

I think Garry Stern may have covered Harry Potter in his expo speech last year. Can't really remember. Point being it won't happen.

Something unlicensed, please. That's all I ask. Just come up with an original concept, draw some art and design a table.

What about Snow Skiing? Lots of ramp possibilities there, start at the bunny hill mode and work up to black diamond made, make a ski lift toy for the pinball, ...

Just make something original. People used to do that, I hear.

+1 for an unlicensed one.

Lots of good suggestions here that are on my list, including Beavis & Butthead, zombies, Pulp Fiction, 3 Stooges, etc. Boobs have been done many, many times. Dukes of Hazzard would probably be a fun one too.

Other thoughts are: Ramones, Marx Brothers, maybe Outer Limits (as a TZ sequel of sorts), Dark Shadows(!), college fraternities, Crazy Taxi...

 

[woodrailsrus]

i know a great one everyone forgot........yes it would be licensed and based on a movie.......but....
how about one on national lampoons vacation with clark griswold and the family truckster, wally world, cousin eddie, rusty and audrey
lots to work with there.......christmas vacation, original vacation, european vacation, vegas vacation.........


might be a bad idea because its outdated though.....unless they made a new movie

That would be awesome!!!!!!! Statler and Waldorf for the win!!

 

[Sarconus]

True Blood

I think True Blood would make a cool pinball. I can just hear Bill saying SUKI. Kind of mimic the sound board of Adams family.

I photoshopped this for a RGP thread a while back, or maybe it was fark.com. Anywhoo, it's taken on a life of it's own and now when I need the pic I can google it rather than have to re-upload it.

The head art is a scan of the Dukes Lunchbox that sits in my office. I think the table is LOTR.

 

[nutballchamp]

Metallica Master of Puppets with lots of cross drop targets.

Manowar. Could be some cool artwork like Paragon and Lost World.

+1 for Spinal Tap and Muppets.

 

[anubisdeath6]

FINAL FANTASY PINBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would be Epic! (I just watched Advent Children and am in a FF mood)

 

[wmacmonagle]

How about

Turbo Grafx

Bonk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Air-Zonk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tripredacus]

Transformers or G.I.Joe would be nice. Maybe even Gobots?

 

[Schusler]

I would like to see a revised version of Dungeons and Dragons! Not knocking the Bally version or anything!

 

[stevenp61]

How about

Turbo Grafx

Bonk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Air-Zonk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JJ & Jeff! (or better yet, the Japanese cruder original, Kato & Ken). Love the TG16/Duo/Express!!!!!! (I even have a shrinkwrapped NIB Duo system in my closet, "just in case"!)
